A truly excellent teaching resource for scene building and urban scene setup, both within Blender and in general. Whether you have no prior knowledge or years of working with Blender going into this course, I guarantee from personal experience that you will finish this course as a stronger 3D artist than when you started. This course focuses on the fundamentals at every stage of the project, and both clearly explains, how and why the challenges being faced during the project are solved in a particular way each time. Nothing is left unexplained or vague, and the focus is constantly on maintaining a positive problem-solving mindset throughout, providing an excellent springboard into future work. To put is simply, if you are even moderately interested in designing urban scenes in Blender, then this course is more than worth the asking price.

Philip Cov's course is clear in content, is endowed with lucidity and clear intentions with solid constructions of the contents, leaving the student time to allow the things learned to settle in a profound way, even unconsciously, allowing him to then express all the own creativity. This is a great course, a manual, that I couldn't do without. With this wealth of experience, the limit is only one's imagination! (4,8 ★)

I learned a bunch of things, and I’m happy with my final result — and it's something I couldn’t have made without this course. But I must admit, at times I found this course very frustrating. It’s difficult to follow along step-by-step — Cov frequently changes his mind about things, and will add or subtract elements outside the lessons. The techniques taught in the course can be inefficient — like not using a mirror modifier and instead manually duplicating and positioning a mesh opposite its twin. And I wish there had been a more robust exploration of scene optimization (I ended up rendering my scene in layers, but this is not explained in the course). Still, though, I would recommend this course to people who have a decent knowledge of Blender. If you're like me, you might find certain things frustrating, but you'll probably learn a lot, and you'll know where it makes sense to deviate from Cov's techniques. I had the most fun after I stopped trying to follow along step by step.
